It is with great sadness that I must inform the TCOMD community of the passing of

Elaine Seltzer

the mother of our Parnas, Robb Seltzer.

Mrs. Seltzer passed peacefully this morning in Detroit.

The funeral will be in Detroit followed by a shortened Shiva due to the holiday.

May Robb and his family find comfort amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem

It is with terrible grief  that we must inform you of the untimely passing today, September 15, Shabbath Ntsavim, of Stuart Sonne.

Reb Sonne has been a pillar of our TCOMD community from very early on.

He and his wife Elaine and their whole family gave of their time to the synagogue and were critical in seeing to the success of our building effort.  Reb Sonne served as our Treasurer and was a significant fundraiser.  Additionally, Reb Sonne and Elaine donated the beautiful Ner Tamid that hangs in the sanctuary.

Whenever the community called on him, Reb Sonne answered.

Stuart is survived by his wife Elaine, children Marvin and Pamela, grandchildren Brianna, Micah, Logan, Matthew and Kimberley.

The funeral will be tomorrow, Sunday, September 16, at 3pm, at the Garden of David in the Hillcrest Cemetery, Leesburg. 

May Stuart find shelter under the wings of the Shechinah.

It is with great sadness that we must inform you of the untimely passing of Francisco (Yoseph) Vargas.

Mr. Vargas has been a member of the Central Florida Jewish Community for many years, giving of his time and expertise to the Ohev Shalom, Sinai-Clermont and Tri-Cities communities.

The Qevurah (Funeral) was Sunday, July 22.

The Vargas family is of extremely limited means.  Also, due to Francisco's very young age and unexpected passing, no pre-need arrangments were made nor anything set aside.  The family simply does not know how they will manage the necessities.

TCOMD has set up, at the request of Francisco's father, a fund to defray funeral expenses.

 

If you can help, please drop by the synagogue or send what you can, as soon as possible.
